I read a great arti­cle at Web Pro News called “Is Bounce Rate a Google Rank­ing Fac­tor?” by Chris Crum. Here are a few points.

Pay atten­tion to Bounce Rates. Maybe the page con­tent is not good or maybe the key­words in the con­tent are not good.

Ana­lyt­ics eval­u­a­tion tips

1. Set up goals

2. Pay atten­tion to the Geo­graphic stats.

3. Pay atten­tion to what vis­i­tors are typ­ing in to find you (they are say­ing here’s what I want to find).

This arti­cle also has a video on per­son­al­ized (sub­jec­tive) search results. This is very inter­est­ing and well worth the few min­utes to watch. Briefly Google search is deter­min­ing what you are look­ing for based on what you pre­vi­ously searched for.
